LWLies 74: Isle of Dogs
W es Anderson and us go way back – all the way back, in fact, to the very beginning. In 2005 The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou graced the cover of our very first issue, and two years later the writer/director’s follow-up feature, The Darjeeling Limited, followed suit. Now, a decade and some 60 issues on, we’re extra excited to take you inside Anderson’s sublime latest, Isle of Dogs.
On the cover…
Our very own Oliver Stafford is the human behind the bold cover of our 74th issue, which is inspired not only by Anderson’s film but also Japanese graphic design.
Artwork inside the issue…
Newly commissioned illustrations by Laurène Boglio , Simon Hayes , Sophie Mo , Jason Ngai , Andrés Lozano , Sharm Murugiah , Luke Brookes , Jaime Jacob and Monica Barengo .
